ABSTRACT

The present invention is related to tablets comprising of 2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-[7-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl]benzamide, processes for the production thereof, and uses in the treatment of certain cancers.

BACKGROUND

Protein kinases (PKs) are a group of enzymes that regulate diverse, important biological processes including cell growth, survival and differentiation, organ formation and morphogenesis, neovascularization, tissue repair and regeneration, among others. A subset of protein kinases (also referred to as oncogenic protein kinases), when dysregulated, can cause tumor formation and growth, and further contribute to tumor maintenance and progression (Blume-Jensen P. et al., Nature 2001, 411(6835):355-365). Thus far, oncogenic protein kinases represent one of the largest and most attractive groups of protein targets for cancer intervention and drug development. c-Met, a proto-oncogene, is a member of a distinct subfamily of heterodimeric receptor tyrosine kinases which include Met, Ron, and Sea (Birchmeier, C. et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2003, 4(12):915-925; Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26). The biological functions of c-Met (or c-Met signaling pathway) in normal tissues and human malignancies such as cancer have been well documented (Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26; Corso, S. et al., Trends in Mol. Med. 2005, 11(6):284-292).

Dysregulated c-Met pathway plays important and sometimes causative (in the case of genetic alterations) roles in tumor formation, growth, maintenance and progression (Birchmeier, C. et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2003, 4(12):915-925; Boccaccio, C. et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer 2006, 6(8):637-645; Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26). HGF (hepatocytic growth factor, a high affinity ligand for c-Met) and/or c-Met are overexpressed in significant portions of most human cancers, and are often associated with poor clinical outcomes such as more aggressive disease, disease progression, tumor metastasis and shortened patient survival. Further, patients with high levels of HGF/c-Met proteins are more resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The various cancers in which c-Met is implicated include, but are not limited to: carcinomas (e.g., bladder, breast, cervical, cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal, esophageal, gastric, head and neck, kidney, liver, lung, nasopharygeal, ovarian, pancreas, prostate, thyroid); musculoskeletal sarcomas (e.g., osteosarcaoma, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma); soft tissue sarcomas (e.g., MFH/fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma); hematopoietic malignancies (e.g., multiple myeloma, lymphomas, adult T cell leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia); and other neoplasms (e.g., glioblastomas, astrocytomas, melanoma, mesothelioma and Wilm's tumor (www.vai.org/met/; Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26).

Inhibitors of c-Met and other kinases are reported in, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 8,461,330, and include the compound 2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-[7-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl]benzamide (Compound I) having the structure indicated below.

New or improved formulations of existing agents which inhibit kinases such as c-Met are continually needed for developing more effective pharmaceuticals to treat cancer and other diseases. Specifically, there is a need for pharmaceutical formulations comprising 2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-[7-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl]benzamide with increased dosage amounts, enhanced bioavailability, and improved dissolution at higher pHs (pH 4.5-6.8). These formulations, and methods described herein are directed toward these needs and other ends.

Notes on the Formulation:

2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-[7-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl]benzamide dihydrochloride is a highly soluble compound at low pH (7.2 mg/mL at pH 1), but displays low solubility at pH 6.8 and above (0.0793 mg/mL at pH 6.8). Addition of surfactants or other polymeric excipients capable of delaying drug precipitation at higher pHs may contribute to increased in vivo exposure.

2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-[7-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl]benzamide dihydrochloride has a gelling behavior, mostly prominent at pHs above 3.5, which can compromise tablet disintegration and dissolution rate. Drug load and disintegrant type/levels can influence this behavior and need to be carefully selected to ensure adequate in vitro performance.

Example 2. Example of a Manufacturing Process for Tablets Comprising Compound I

The process described below may be reasonably adjusted, while maintaining the same basic production steps, to compensate for different batch sizes and/or equipment characteristics, and/or on the basis of experience.

-   1. Sieve Mannitol and blend it together with     2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-[7-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl]benzamide     dihydrochloride, Duponol, crospovidone, Polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 and     Avicel PH 101. -   2. Granulate the blend from bullet point 1 with water and dry the     granulate. -   3. Pass the granulate from bullet point 2 through a sieve. -   4. Sieve the external phase consisting of microcrystalline cellulose     (Cellulose MK GR), crospovidone (polyvinylpolypyrrolidone), and     Aerosil 200. -   5. Blend together the mixtures from bullet points 3 and 4. -   6. Pass Magnesium Stearate through a sieve and add to the     formulation from bullet point 5 and blend. -   7. Compress the blend from bullet point 6 into tablets. -   8. Optionally coat the tablets to form film-coated tablets. -   An illustration of this process is found in FIG. 1.

Notes on the Manufacturing Process:

2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-[7-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl]benzamide dihydrochloride has a very low bulk density (0.085 g/mL), which justifies the need of a densification step prior tabletting. Wet granulation was identified as the most suitable technology for this compound. As opposed to roller compaction, formulations processed with wet granulation technology showed adequate balance among tablet friability, disintegration and dissolution rate.

Excipient levels, specifically those of surfactants like sodium dodecyl sulfate, should be kept to a minimum to comply with recommended permitted daily exposure values.

Example 3: Dog Pharmacokinetic Studies

Data from a dog PK study comparing the 2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-[7-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl]benzamide dihydrochloride hard gelatin capsule (HGC) presently used in clinics against two prototype tablet formulations was also used as guidance for formulation/process development of the tablet clinical service form. Those studies were performed with a 50 mg dosage strength and show that the tablet formulation manufactured by wet granulation using SDS as surfactant results in similar 2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-[7-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl]benzamide dihydrochloride plasma levels as the 2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-[7-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl]benzamide dihydrochloride HGC.
